Summer of cricket 2017-18: Matches, venues, times, TV

While the five-Test Ashes series headlines the 2017-18 summer of cricket, there are also 5 one-day matches to be played, and a T20 tri-series. Here are all the details for a long, hot summer of leather… and willow.

After five Tests, followed by five ODI matches, the Aussies and Poms are likely to be sick of the sight of each other, so the New Zealand team will face the two sides in the Twenty20 Trans-Tasman Tri-Series.

If you’re wondering why it’s called the Trans-Tasman series, considering no British coast lies anywhere near the Tasman Sea, it’s because matches will be played on both Aussie and Kiwi shores.
